Tomorrow’s physicians need to think entrepreneurially about digital health care, but it starts with opening up fixed mindsets within higher education that have often discouraged out-of-the-box thinking, says Dr. Arlen Meyers, President & CEO of the Society of Physician Entrpreneurs and our guest today on the Healthcare Podcast. “The reason we created the Society for Physician Entrepreneurs is because every physician, engineer, scientist has a good idea, unfortunately the vast majority have no idea what to do with that good idea. They won’t be taught what to do with that idea in their formal training,” Meyers said.

Breakthroughs will come when entrepreneur-minded physicians work together with health technology companies to create inter-operable solutions. “I don’t believe sick care can be fixed from the inside. It has to be an outside-in collaboration,” Meyers said. “We simply can’t rely on doctors to solve a problem that they contributed to creating. We have to collaborate and innovate our way out of the sick care mess.”

Workforce Pell will cover 8- to 15-week trades programs starting in July 2026

Workforce Pell will cover 8- to 15-week trades programs starting in July 2026

A final U.S. Department of Education rule makes 8- to 15-week training eligible for Pell Grants, effective July 20, 2026. Eligibility is tied to completion, employment, and earnings measures. For contractors and HR leaders, it adds a federal funding option for short-term technician training, if programs meet the rule’s standards.

  • 01The 70% completion and 70% employment thresholds turn Workforce Pell into a performance contract, not a blank-check subsidy, when selecting school partners.
  • 02For employers, written training agreements are now a procurement artifact: institutions can outsource up to 25% of instruction, and Registered Apprenticeship sponsors up to 49%, shaping how companies staff labs, instructors, and OJT.
  • 03State-by-state approval is the choke point. Governors and workforce boards decide which occupations qualify before federal sign-off, so multi-state employers will see uneven program availability.

Back-to-school IT teams are buying EdTech in a market where half the funding sits with 10 firms

Back-to-school IT teams are buying EdTech in a market where half the funding sits with 10 firms

New Market Pitch’s July 13, 2026 ranking says the top 10 EdTech startups hold about 50.2% of total funding in its filtered ranking; BYJU’S accounts for about 15.1% and is listed at about $6.0B raised. EdTech Digest’s 2011 profile of Wishbone describes an organization that links donors online with at-risk high school students to fund after-school and summer programs.

  • 01Funding tables can hide procurement risk: New Market Pitch lists some entries with “partial” confidence and flags “acquired” statuses without naming acquirers, so buyers should treat capital rankings as a starting point, not due diligence.
  • 02Some education initiatives behave like supply chains, not software: EdTech Digest’s description of Wishbone’s model highlights the operational work in vetting, publishing, funding, and progress updates, workflows that live outside the LMS.

AI Readiness in Education

AI Readiness in Education

AI adoption in education requires students to develop practical problem-solving skills and readiness to use AI effectively in their careers. Dr. Ngoc Cindy Pham at CUNY Brooklyn College redesigns curricula to emphasize AI literacy through experiential learning and industry partnerships that align academic training with real-world employer needs.

  • 01Students must defend their AI-assisted decisions through reasoning, not just rely on AI outputs, to ensure understanding of marketing concepts in practice.
  • 02Educational institutions should partner with employers as co-creators of curriculum rather than designing courses on theory alone, ensuring skills meet actual workplace demands.
  • 03AI literacy and readiness are becoming central to higher education frameworks, requiring continuous collaboration between educators and industry to adapt to evolving technologies.
